Larry

He taught daughters

how to shoot a long rifle

and how to throw a tomahawk.

He taught me a few things,

too, maybe.

He filled small hands

with good things to eat

when mama wasn't looking.

He watched boys and girls

grow up.

Proud of every one.

Some folks leave

a large legacy.

Author's Note

Women on the Frontier wasn't the same without him. I bet he was smiling somewhere.

Making his place in hearts as they make their place in the world....sounds like a good man.

How about "The Man"?

Some hearts teach through their actions, and this man's actions speak loud to his character.

A fine tribute Emily!
